Flowers around town

Hi folks, thank you all so much for your beautiful comments on my last post, I wrote it for me really, so was surprised you enjoyed it and that it stirred your own memories, ... Over the last few days I have been remembering so much more about Ivy and how she influenced my life. I dug out some very old pictures I am caretaking for my brothers and found there are others in memory lane that are crowding in and asking to be remembered so I might do a few more posts.

snapped on a quick walk through a park in town on a short cut; I collected conkers along with the early morning school children. Our local authority plant these displays for us and they change with the Season, it occurred to me that bloggers in very hot countries may not have displays like this as their climate won't allow, so these are for you.

We also have an amateur photographer competition (results later this month).

We grew our own veg this year, however, the tomatos have taken ages to ripen due to the North facing garden.

These are a few corners of my own little garden, the nasturtiums have climbed up the fence (and scrambled into the neighbours garden, where they have a better display than me now!).

The hanging basket out front has just died off and I am planting
up for Autumn now with some new colours.

I think Autumn is my favourite season, in the woods the leaves around here are gold,
russet and brown, I wish I could wear a coat of them! I can feel a
little creativity seeping in with all this colour and beautiful light is around to
inspire me, back soon with a few pics of what's happening out in the woods.

Thank you for following my blog, stopping by and leaving a comment if you have time, it's much appreciated and I look forward to visiting you too.

What wonderful displays. Sadly our council is on its knees with absolutely no cash to spend on prettying up the town - I suppose we should count our blessings that the art gallery has won a reprieve.Our tomatoes all ripened this year - I think that's a first. Next job is to work out what to do with the glut of apples from our trees. xxx

Everything still looks lovely & flowery in your world Betty. Yes autumn is a wonderful season with the colours & all the changes in the leaves. Spring is my favourite but autumn is my next favourite :-)

Those look like black-eyed susans. They are so pretty, and to see a field of them, what a sight. Autumn is my favorite season too, and I'm glad it has arrived around your neck of the woods. The gardens are so lovely, especially with those purple flowers.

Oh, such lovely English flowers/gardens! I love fall, too. It's been rather hot here. We are expecting more comfortable temperatures this weekend. It's hard to believe the flowers will vanish soon. Sad.What do you like to do in the fall? I want to walk the neighborhood and add to my nature journal.
